However, the Gogglebox star was not so pleased after he took a series of tumbles on the ice.

The star arrived roughly around 10.15am, but just over an hour later the training session had abruptly ended.

In exclusive photos, Bez could be seen struggling to get to grips with the basics of skating.

The maraca-shaking dancer took multiple falls before throwing in the towel.

He was spotted on bended knees on the ice after he performed turns which went wrong.

The TV star, whose real name is Mark Berry, also gave his backwards skating his best shot but landed on the ice.

Luckily, he was fully kitted out in protective equipment, including a helmet, elbow and knee pads and wrist supports.

He was seen looking frustrated and having a frank discussion with his trainer before leaving the rink.

Bez was officially announced as a contestant on This Morning and he told Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield: “How I got picked I don’t know, because I was absolutely awful at the audition.”

She was joined by Love Island star Liberty Poole and Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt.

It looked like the trio have made friends as she took selfies on the ice alongside skating legends Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean.

Liberty showed off her toned midriff in the outfit – while new friends Kimberly and Sally wrapped up warm in long-sleeved tops and a puffer jacket.

Torvil and Dean joined the group for one of the pictures, as Pussycat Doll star Kimberly threw her hands in the air in excitement.

“Thowback to my first day in the rink,” the Love Island star captioned the snaps. “Trying to keep your balance doing all these crazy moves on the ice is kinda harder than it looks but I’m loving every minute of it.”

Theywill also be joined by The Vamps’ Connor Ball, S Club 7 star Rachel Stevens and Rugby ace Ben Foden on the ice rink early next year.
